The first stage adaptation of Dimitar Dimov’s novel “Tobacco,” beloved by generations of Bulgarians! For the adaptation, Yuri Dachev used the original, uncensored version of the novel, published in December 1951, 70 years before the premiere at the Varna Theatre.

“Tobacco” is a production like a knife pressed to the throat. The world is corroded by war. People struggle for power, money, and domination over one another. A powerful and sensual performance about an impossible love. “Tobacco” is a challenge for theatre, for the actors, for the audience, and for director Bina Haralampieva. A production in which the audience will rediscover many timely themes that connect the past and the present.
